Yes, I did go into detail, but I still think that how easy a person says that trading is, is a direction reflection of their expectancy. If its really high, of course trading is easy, if its low, then not so much. In other words, trading expectancy is directly correlated with how easy you think trading is.

Keep it simple man. One direction, one setup, one instrument. If you can't make money with this, then I'll eat my hat. And I have one!

This

"...... new one is manually traded and only gets 90% winners."

and

"......... Risk management is my edge, learn to get risk to zero or positive outcome."

Apparently I can't read. 90% is not impossible, but requires discipline to maintain...

No it is impossible beyond a trade or two a day or two. Other than by HFT's.

Still, worth aiming for isn't it

You can have all the discipline in the world, but it is hard to be profitable without an edge.
70% is incredible in this business. If you don't mind sharing, is there anything specific that you focus on?

I start with support/resistance, then wait for the market to force me to trade.

I think you have that backwards. It is DAMNED easy to become a trader. It's not easy to trade WELL.

I meant what I said.
Please trade simple.

I'm sure everyone is wondering what it means to be forced to trade.. so I will ask!

I know that every time I take a trade that I feel I was forced to take after watching it go in my direction and sitting in agony, its usually the worst time to enter.
